Is RBF too niche? / Revenue-based Finance / Career Path

Hi everyone, I would like to hear from those more experienced in the field about their views on the revenue-based financing (RBF). Personally, I feel that it is quite niche, more related to private equity. And given that traditional finance dominates the market, the job search related to RBF can be quite challenging. I am considering pursuing a career in the BRF industry, but I also want to ask for advice on my overall career planning. Actually, I've had an internship in RBF, where I have gained substantial experience. However, I lack in-depth knowledge of traditional finance and no relevant internship experience. As a result, I find it challenging to pursue positions in investment banking or similar companies. Based on my past internships, I am considering a broader range of roles like sales, key account management, or business development, including positions in banks, consulting firms, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), and internet finance. I would appreciate any advice or insights on whether this career plan seems suitable. Thank you for your help! (Btw, this is my resume and I would love your feedback, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! )
